Come visit me and some of my animal friends here at North Georgia Zoo!
Hi, My name is Melissa Burns and I am an Animalholic

Here are some interesting things facts about me!

    I  Attended Colorado State University and graduated with a degree in Zoology. My favorite animal in the whole world are Giraffes! The animal that creeps me out the most are Squirrels!
  I enjoy training all of the animals here at North Georgia Zoo. They all have their different things that make it challenging and fun. Trying to find what makes that animal excited about training and you is awesome. Also when the animal learns its behavior it’s the best feeling for both me and the animal.

I was blessed to get to know Melissa when she first started being a zoo keeper and am very proud of all that she has become.
